Magento 2: Composer for Extensions Distribution
Details
We are happy to announce the next LA Magento Meetup. This time we will have one of the core Magento developers talking about using the PHP dependency management tools (Composer) with the upcoming Magento 2.
Magento 1.x uses Magento Connect to package and distribute extensions. Magento 2 uses Composer, a de facto standard dependency manager for PHP, instead.
Integration with Composer changes approach to module versioning, dependencies declaration, and installation. It completely changes the way modules/themes/localizations are distributed in the Magento ecosystem.
We will have a formal Q&A with two of the core Magento 2 developers afterwards...
